Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a wearable camera that can reduce power consumption and prevent data loss during use.

Problems solved by technology

Conducting the process of transmitting such a large amount of information then requires a great amount of power consumption and processing time, leading to an increase in size due to a capacity increase in a battery, a reduction in the maximum operation time, and a degradation in throughput.

Abstract

A wearable camera according to the present invention includes: an image pickup unit that obtains moving image data of an object; a detection unit that obtains detection data; a control unit that determines whether a wearer is in an abnormal situation based on the moving image data and the detection data and generates attribute tag data containing a determination clock time and details of abnormality when it is determined that the wearer is in an abnormal situation; a first communication unit that transmits first information to a server when the control unit determines that the wearer is in an abnormal situation; and a second communication unit that transmits second information containing the moving image data and having a greater amount of data than that of the first information to the server based on the attribute tag data.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a wearable camera.Description of the Related Art[0002]There has been proposed a wearable camera for obviating crimes and accidents by using an image pickup unit and a communication unit to transmit a pickup image and the like to a guardian to notify the guardian that a wearer such as a child is in an abnormal situation including facing a dangerous situation, for example.[0003]Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-130926 discloses a wearable camera that transmits information on surroundings of a wearer obtained by an image pickup unit, a calling unit, a location information obtainment unit, and an impact detection unit to a server.[0004]The wearable camera disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-130926 transmits an enormous amount of information containing all the obtained video information, sound information, and so on to the server through a communication network.[00...
